Fergie admitted last year that he has had to change because players of the modern era have changed:

“There is nothing wrong with losing your temper if it’s for the right reasons,” said Ferguson. “But I never leave it till the next day. Some managers wait till Monday but I want to let it go after the game because I’m already planning for the next one. Once I let it go, I don’t bring it up again. My strength has to be obvious for all to see. I have mellowed a great deal. The world has changed and so have players’ attitudes. I’m dealing with more fragile human beings than I used to be. They are cocooned by parents, agents, even their own image at times. They need to be seen with their tattoos and earrings. It’s a different world for me so I have had to adapt. Some players even cry now in the dressing room – Bryan Robson never used to cry."

These players like Evans and Carrick (who, to be fair, I actually thought was OK today) have no bollocks. I'm not sure what that's down to.

Just saw Evans' tackle on MotD... both players went in for the ball just the same... Holden had his studs showing just as bad as Evans... but he came off worse... and that's why the red card.

I'm not going to vilify Evans... it wasn't dirty or malicious... just hard football.

"Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and ching' tu madre! Come out from that shit-hole of yours. I have to speak to you."

Rooney was quality again. He fuckin oozes it!

Did you see Douglas Costa at the game? SAF brought him over to Manchester as his guest to watch the game. There is some movement in the works of bringing Costa to United. SAF has been trying to sign this player since he was 16 years old and he is not going to let Manchester City sign him, as they are now pursuing the player.
Nani holds on to the ball too long when other players are in good positions to score. He trys to go it all alone and ends up losing the ball when he should pass the ball first touch. Valencia is doing some good stuff!

meh, nani and valenica will get better as they keep playing consistently. terrible performance, but fortunately we won. and evans' red card was completely justified. putting your weight behind a studs up tackle deserves a red.

Herbie can you fuck off with your fantasy football in the Match day threads, how thick can one mongoloid spasticated cunt be.

Evans got the ball but he followed through. He was very unlucky. Giggs was atrocious while Carrick actually played very well before being moved back.

Nani shoots. Nani dribbles. Sometimes they come off sometimes they do not. THAT is how Nani is. It was his scuffed shot that led to our goal. We really need to stop moaning about him - all flair players especially those that dribble a lot are like that. I challenge you guys to watch many Cantona games, he was like that. Tried many things that did not come off but he was brave enough to keep at them - those are what great players do. Despite his goal, as soon Berba came on, Rooney started suffering re who to thread the balls through because as usual, Berba was in his position.

As well as Bolton are supposed to have played, we are so short of numbers that we would have destroyed them with a proper midfield of Fletcher and Carrick or Anderson. Am just pleased that we are ready to kick into this last straight. Now for City to get a point at Stamford Bridge.

Dear Sir Alex Ferguson, the 4-4-2 formation with two strikers and two central midfielders is DEAD. Please stop playing this. Thank you very much sir. Regards,
A Loyal Fan.

I’ve heard retired players commenting on how soft the current youth are. Cannot remember his name but some old West Ham player was talking about how he used to make Rio clean his boots. He (the ex-Hammer) then said that Rio was probably from the last generation of youth players who not only would put up with this kind of treatment, but actually expected it as part of getting on as an apprentice. He pointed out that the problem with the current generation is that if they’re talented and not happy (eg cos they have to clean boots or actually learn something about club history and respect), they just call their agent and organise to move on – probably for more pay as well.

Bollocks... it was NOT justified... it just looks that way, because Holden ended up with a gashed leg... I don't blame the ref for giving the red, but if you have the replay to look at, then you can see that BOTH players tackles are equally as bad, or just hard... depending on your opinion of what constitutes a bad/fair tackle.

Look carefully at the replay... Holden goes in, studs first, and slams his studs right into Evans Knee... the fact that Evans wasn't also hurt is just a matter of millimetres and timing...

Like I said... I don't really have a problem with the red card... from the refs perspective, in real time it looks bad... but I don't like the criticism of Evans for what was nothing more than a 50/50 that went bad for the other guy... it could just as easily been Evans that came out injured.

Aye... and it's not just soft is it?... they're spoiled little brats... they're being groomed from very early ages, some as young as 12/13... and by the time they're 16, they've already got agents, and hangers-on telling them how special they are, young gold digging trollops flashing their knickers at them, clubs fighting over them, sponsors winking at them... it's no wonder they end up with a very warped sense of their own importance.

Indeed. 50/50 and both lunged in. Fergie did well not to comment further. They should both have seen red, or maybe a yellow for Holden.

0:50ish in. Both had studs up. If Holden hadn’t been cut, what would’ve happened?

As for that stupid guy, its not fantasy football. Does he keep up to date on whats going on for the future of the club? The game is over, talk about something else. Do some reading and research of whats in the making at the club for the future. And if SAF does sign Costa for United, I will personally kick his ass and tell him I told you so.

By fuck Herbie read whats written this is a Matchday Thread and Costa has fuck all to do with the match, there are transfer forums for such discussions and guess what I seen the articles floating around but until Fergus signs him its fantasy football.

Alf was totally right about the Evan's tackle by the way.

What frustrated me in the first half was the number of balls simply lumped forward at Valencia and Nani. Why pay the best part of £30 odd million for wingers who can play with the ball at their feet only to ask them to spend half the game jumping up and down competing with defenders for a ball in the air. We didn't even compete for the second ball! So what's the point?

Secondly, the first touch of half our players was horrifying. Some of the attempts to control were downright embarrassing for players who call themselves professional. It was not acceptable on any level.

I think while Evans had an overall nervy performance it was nice to see him not getting outmuscled by Kevin Davies. That, for me, was a massive plus. Carrick was consistently helping him out as well, but whenever Davies was competing, Evans was as well and they didn't get much joy down that route.

I thought Brown was worse than Evans, being honest, because he got into some great positions but didn't deliver anything.

Let's go back a few days shall we, and reconsider the title of this particular thread.

I have one question:

Where the fuck is Hargreaves!?!?!

That is all.
